Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of microbial bacteria culture, and more specifically to a microbial dual-temperature integrated culture box. Background Art

[0002] Microbial culture refers to the process of inoculating microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, etc.) on a culture medium containing different ingredients, and using artificially created culture conditions (such as culture temperature, humidity, CO2, etc.) to allow them to grow and reproduce rapidly. This is called microbial culture. Microbial culture requires an incubator, which should be set according to the different temperature requirements of the microorganisms. The growth characteristics of microorganisms are different at different temperatures. Microbial laboratory staff often need to place two culture media inoculated with the same specimen at different culture temperatures for initial identification of microorganisms.

[0003] China Patent Authorization Announcement No.: CN214612519U, provides a dual-temperature culture chamber for microorganisms and bacteria in a laboratory. This patent is provided with a placement plate, a rack, a servo motor and a gear. The culture medium is placed above the placement plates of the low-temperature culture chamber and the high-temperature culture chamber respectively. The servo motor is turned on by an external controller, and the servo motor drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the placement plate to move through the rack, and the placement plate drives the limit block to slide in the second slide groove. The heater and the refrigerator are turned on by an external controller. After the temperature is adjusted to the specified temperature, the first microorganism growth lamp and the second microorganism growth lamp are turned on by the external controller. The first microorganism growth lamp and the second microorganism growth lamp accelerate the bacterial culture progress. The water pump is turned on by the external controller, and the water pump guides the water in the water tank into the outlet pipe and sprays it out through the atomizing nozzle, so as to achieve the purpose of easy access, and solve the problem that the existing dual-temperature culture chamber for microorganisms and bacteria in the laboratory is difficult to access, resulting in the inability to quickly access when working, affecting the culture progress.

[0004] In the existing technology, the microbial incubator can only provide a single temperature culture environment, which cannot meet the technical requirements of the same microorganism that needs to be cultured in a dual temperature environment at the same time (such as fungi need to be cultured at 28°C and 35°C for preliminary identification). Even if two incubators with different temperatures are placed separately, the specimens with the same number will be taken out of order and difficult to match during the subsequent identification process; secondly, the two incubators with different temperatures are placed separately, which occupies the laboratory area and cannot effectively utilize the space. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be solved

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a dual-temperature integrated incubator for microorganisms, which can embody the advantages of dual-temperature integration and automated maintenance and servicing by providing upper and lower culture chambers on the incubator body, installing temperature controllers and water trays in the culture chambers, and installing water adding components and drainage pipes on the outside of the incubator body. The temperature controller enables the temperatures in the upper and lower chambers to be regulated separately, and culture chambers with different temperatures can hold multiple culture media inoculated with the same specimen. It solves the technical problem that microorganisms, especially fungi, need to be cultured at different temperatures of 28°C and 35°C at the same time. It also solves the problem that specimens with the same number placed in incubators with different temperatures will cause a messy order and be difficult to match. The combination of culture chambers with different temperatures into one saves floor space for the limited area of ​​the laboratory and effectively utilizes space.

[0007] The water tray can be freely disassembled to prevent water from leaking during the movement of the incubator. The capacity of the measuring bottle and the water tray in the external water adding assembly is the same. The staff only needs to fill water into the two measuring bottles, and then open the valve at the bottom of the measuring bottle to allow the water in the measuring bottle to flow into the water tray through the L-shaped water inlet pipe. Since the internal capacity of the water tray and the measuring bottle is consistent, the water volume inside the water tray can be measured through the measuring bottle, which can effectively prevent leakage caused by excessive water addition inside the water tray, and realize the quantification function of the water volume in the water tray.

[0008] A drain pipe is set on the left side of the water tray. Open the two second valves to allow the water in the two water trays to be discharged from the outlet pipe into the drain pipe at the same time. The water can be automatically drained, replacing the manual suction and drainage work of the staff. The water in the water tray can be discharged uniformly, which is convenient for the treatment and replacement of the water inside the water tray. It reduces the workload of the staff and improves the compliance of the maintenance and maintenance of the incubator.

[0009] 2. Technical solution

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0017] (1) This solution can be realized by setting two upper and lower culture chambers in the incubator body and installing temperature controllers in the culture chambers respectively. The temperature controllers can adjust the temperature in the upper and lower chambers separately, and different temperature culture chambers can be used to place multiple culture media inoculated with the same specimen. It solves the technical problem that microorganisms, especially fungi, need to be cultured at different temperatures of 28°C and 35°C at the same time. It can meet the requirements of different growth temperatures for microbial culture by adjusting the temperature of the upper and lower chambers. It also solves the problem that the same numbered specimens placed in incubators with different temperatures will cause a messy order and difficulty in matching. At the same time, it also solves the problem of waste of floor space caused by placing incubators with different temperatures separately.

[0018] (2) This solution can be realized by installing movable water trays on the two inner bottoms of the incubator body. The water trays can be freely removed to prevent water leakage during the movement of the incubator. A water adding component is installed on the right side of the incubator body. The staff only needs to fill water into the two measuring bottles, and then open the valve at the bottom of the measuring bottle to allow the water in the measuring bottle to flow into the water tray through the L-shaped water inlet pipe, thereby realizing the quantification function of the water volume in the water tray. Since the internal capacity of the water tray is consistent with that of the measuring bottle, the water volume inside the water tray can be measured by the measuring bottle, which can effectively prevent leakage caused by excessive water addition inside the water tray.

[0019] (3) This solution can be realized by setting a drain pipe on the left side of the water tray. Opening the two second valves allows the water in the two water trays to be discharged from the outlet pipe into the drain pipe at the same time, which can automatically drain the water, replacing the manual suction and drainage work of the staff. The water in the water trays can be discharged uniformly, which is convenient for the treatment and replacement of the water in the water trays. It reduces the workload of the staff and improves the compliance of the maintenance and maintenance of the incubator. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
